[China Packaging News] recently, the US Environmental Protection Agency published a final rule to implement the formaldehyde emission standard set by the US Congress in 2010 for imported and locally manufactured composite wood products (contained in part VI of the toxic substances control act). This standard mainly stipulates that composite boards and their products locally or imported from the United States, as well as articles containing composite wood products, must be attached with the required label contents and statements

the main provisions of this rule stipulate that from December 12, 2017, all hardwood plywood (including laminated products that are not exempted within the definition of hardwood plywood), particleboard and medium density fiberboard sold, supplied, offered for sale, manufactured or imported in the United States must meet the formaldehyde emission standard; Must be verified by a third-party certification body to meet the standard; The label must be attached with the name of the product manufacturer (or other identification information), batch number, third-party certification body number, and a statement that the release standard is met. From December 12, 2017, finished products manufactured with relevant products, such as furniture, wooden cabinets, floors, photo frames, toys and building materials, must be attached with labels indicating the name of the processor, the date of production of the product, and a statement of compliance with the release standards

from December 12, 2018, importers will import regulated composite wood products or articles containing these composites. Therefore, waste plastic particle treatment will become a hot development in the future. Part of the wood products must be used in the tensile test of artificial wood, canvas, curtain, copper and other materials, and comply with the 19 CFR 12.118 to 12.127 regulations of the Federal Code on the import verification of bulk chemicals and chemicals present in mixtures and articles. From December 12, 2023, the laminated products must comply with the formaldehyde emission standard of hardwood plywood, as well as the relevant provisions on the testing, verification and certification of composite wood products and the preservation of documents and records

other finished products sold to end users as components, if they contain only a small amount (144 square inches or less) of regulated composite wood products, do not need to comply with the provisions on labels, but still need to comply with the provisions on the preservation of documents and records and other terms

the United States is an important market for the export of wood products in China. The inspection and Quarantine Department of Suzhou, Jiangsu hereby reminds relevant export enterprises that the United States Environmental Protection Agency has established a certification body recognized by the environmental protection agency as a third-party certification body to test and certify unprocessed composite wood products (finished products do not need to play a major role in the process of providing comfort to passengers). Therefore, relevant import and export enterprises should pay more attention, actively enhance their awareness of quality and safety, actively understand the situation of technical trade measures in major exporting countries or regions, make preparations in advance, effectively avoid technical barriers, and gain a foothold and make great progress in the highly competitive export market
